49 * structure only occurs embedded in a union in struct ref_entry, and
50 * only when (ref_entry.flag & REF_DIR) is set. In that case,
51 * (ref_entry.flag & REF_INCOMPLETE) determines whether the references
52 * in the directory have already been read:
54 * (ref_entry.flag & REF_INCOMPLETE) unset -- a directory of loose

61 * Entries within a directory are stored within a growable array of
62 * pointers to ref_entries (entries, nr, alloc). Entries 0 <= i <
63 * sorted are sorted by their component name in strcmp() order and the
64 * remaining entries are unsorted.
66 * Loose references are read lazily, one directory at a time. When a
67 * directory of loose references is read, then all of the references
68 * in that directory are stored, and REF_INCOMPLETE stubs are created
69 * for any subdirectories, but the subdirectories themselves are not
70 * read. The reading is triggered by get_ref_dir().
76 * Entries with index 0 <= i < sorted are sorted by name. New
77 * entries are appended to the list unsorted, and are sorted
78 * only when required; thus we avoid the need to sort the list
79 * after the addition of every reference.

92 * public values; see refs.h.

105 * A ref_entry represents either a reference or a "subdirectory" of
108 * Each directory in the reference namespace is represented by a
109 * ref_entry with (flags & REF_DIR) set and containing a subdir member
110 * that holds the entries in that directory that have been read so
111 * far. If (flags & REF_INCOMPLETE) is set, then the directory and
112 * its subdirectories haven't been read yet. REF_INCOMPLETE is only
113 * used for loose reference directories.
115 * References are represented by a ref_entry with (flags & REF_DIR)
116 * unset and a value member that describes the reference's value. The
117 * flag member is at the ref_entry level, but it is also needed to
118 * interpret the contents of the value field (in other words, a
119 * ref_value object is not very much use without the enclosing
122 * Reference names cannot end with slash and directories' names are
123 * always stored with a trailing slash (except for the top-level
124 * directory, which is always denoted by ""). This has two nice
125 * consequences: (1) when the entries in each subdir are sorted
126 * lexicographically by name (as they usually are), the references in
127 * a whole tree can be generated in lexicographic order by traversing
128 * the tree in left-to-right, depth-first order; (2) the names of
129 * references and subdirectories cannot conflict, and therefore the
130 * presence of an empty subdirectory does not block the creation of a
131 * similarly-named reference. (The fact that reference names with the
132 * same leading components can conflict *with each other* is a
133 * separate issue that is regulated by refs_verify_refname_available().)
135 * Please note that the name field contains the fully-qualified
136 * reference (or subdirectory) name. Space could be saved by only
137 * storing the relative names. But that would require the full names
138 * to be generated on the fly when iterating in do_for_each_ref(), and
139 * would break callback functions, who have always been able to assume
140 * that the name strings that they are passed will not be freed during
